    He can cook - when I tell him exactly what to fix. I was frustrated tonight.. come ON! You can't look into the fridge, see meat and think of soft tacos? or see the noodles and cheese and think...

  2. Calling all Nurse Mamas... Please help me!!

    punkydoodlesRN replied to punkydoodlesRN's topic in General Nursing

    I have one!! But my problem is starting it. I leave my house at 0545. My husband leaves at 0630. Most recipes are 4-6hr cook time. He gets home at 1830 and I'm home after 2000. Tried doing the timer...

  3. Should I apply as a nurse even though I've yet to be licensed?

    punkydoodlesRN replied to mmm cdiff's topic in General Nursing

    Yup - what the others said!! What's the worst that can happen if you do apply?? They say no? What's the worst that can happen if you don't? You could miss a job

    punkydoodlesRN posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    This post doesn't have a purpose... I just need to let it all out somewhere... and I know the ob-gyn nurses around here would be the ones who would best understand. I'm a *new-ish* nurse - graduated...

  7. Do Nurses Still Make *Real* Beds?

    punkydoodlesRN replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in General Nursing

    I prefer to make my own beds - time permitting of course. I have 8 yrs military background, so I'm a bit picky about how things are done. I want it nice, neat, and perfect. Ready for my DS to come in...

  8. Many New Grads......

    punkydoodlesRN replied to Weebee's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know.. I see both. I know I've read numerous posts about newer nurses leaving and stating that it's for good. I'm one hanging tight with whitened knuckles, even though I don't love my

  9. Am I the only one?!!

    punkydoodlesRN replied to BrewerRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sick now. Was sent home from a day last week and called in a day this week. Tomorrow is day 12 of this crap. Deep productive cough - nice and thick (and green). Raw throat. Totally plugged nose....

    punkydoodlesRN replied to O'NanRn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Lol - I came from psych to ob-gyn. My hubby tells me it's the same thing!! Nope. The women on L&D/PP are only crazy a few days, then they leave and it's AT LEAST 9 months before they can return....

  11. Therapy for me....

    punkydoodlesRN replied to punkydoodlesRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

  12. Therapy for me....

    punkydoodlesRN replied to punkydoodlesRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Chin up, thank you for your story. I think LVNs are fabulous nurses - I work that some that do circles around the BSNs... I think my hang up is that it just isn't what I dreamed. Every day my husband...

  13. Had an interview today-wanted to share with unemployed nurses

    punkydoodlesRN replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Nursing

    Way to go! I agree with not downplaying your experience - I'm sure you know more than you realize!! There were some areas that I was weak in when I interviewed - I went to psych out of school and was...

    punkydoodlesRN replied to chaos0058's topic in Texas Nursing

    punkydoodlesRN replied to chaos0058's topic in Texas Nursing

    Did I miss something? Did applicants need to reqest that their TEASV scores be sent to UTMB?? I questioned why it was still listed on my to-do list, yet my application status says complete. I was just...
